Apollo Project flight simulator, USA, 1960s. NASA's Lunar Orbit and Let-Down Approach Simulator (LOLA), a high-tech simulator designed to represent the view an Apollo astronaut would see if they were looking at the lunar surface just prior to establishing orbit of the Moon. The simulator was built at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and was comprised of a cockpit, a closed-circuit television system and four large murals or scale models which represented portions of the lunar surface as seen from various altitudes.
